    It was Wlad not Vitali who gave Mercer a beating.

    One of the judges actually scored it 149-136, he almost had it.

    Cobb said, when he was on the Carson show, that Ali was playing an advanced game of tag and after 45 minutes, he knew he was it. LOL

    It was a very decisive victory for Holmes, against
    Cobb whom he was all wrong for.
    A one sided beating that could've and should've
    been stopped as early as the tenth round, a fact which
    I'm very sure anyone who saw it live
    would disagree.
    Did Cosell go overboard? Yes he did, I have no
    problem with him criticizing the fight.
    But he seemed to get consumed by it.
